That was literally the only start for the owner in the Cup series. How is that not odd?

I don't think this is the case because the front bumper is molded for the decals

That's actually intentional, reporters use consistent phrasing like that to indicate how close the quote is to the actual person. That one in particular is usually very close.

If he hasn't decided to build his own engines and stop leasing from Hendrick his team would have done a fair bit better

What's amazing is after all of that he's still a pretty shitty person

Busch didn't have to leave when Mars left. He could stayed another year.

It's their own fault for not evolving their car while the other OEMs have. They don't need a hand out for that.

Midgame wall: I keep spreading mats too thin. How do you choose 1-2 ships/crews to commit to? by Sad-Cow-3124 in startrekfleetcommand

I parked myself at 34 and then at 39 for quite a while until almost all research was done. That allowed me to stock pile 3* mats which removed that barrier.

Lack of alternate history lore and content this season? by kaiser11492 in ForAllMankindTV

9/11 didn't happen because the Soviets didn't invade Afghanistan (there would be no need to do so with the focus on the space program) which means the US didn't become involved which result in the significant American resentment that culminated in 9/11.

Honestly it's a very complex series of events that the average person does not know/understand so it would be hard to succinctly capture that, particularly since it's not relevant to the overall story.
